Since Neutrog Fertilisers were launched on the Irish agricultural market in early 2010 there has been a great response from Irish farmers, who are very willing to give Neutrog a try. One of the questions we were being regularly asked was “how far will it spread”. Most tillage farmers require a 24m spread, and some were concerned that neutrog products such as Rapid Raiser and Seamungus wouldnt go the distance. To reassure farmers Neutrog’s Con Farren asked Trevor Richards of Atkins Machinery to do a spread test using trays, on 2 types of fertiliser spreader, a Bredal Trailed speader and a Lely Centerliner. Trevor was surprised at how well Neutrog Rapid Raiser spread with both machines, particularly given the fact that the day of the test was quite windy. The Bredal was set-up to spread 24m and the trays showed that there was an even spread accross this distance. The centreliner was set up for a 12m spread and also resulted in a perfect spread pattern. Con said “It was important that we carried out this test, as it gives farmers the 100% assurance that Neutrog Fertilisers can be spread accurately, and to the required distances.”
